|
A thousand years i've stood here |
|
I'll stand a thousand more |
|
Seen kingdoms rise and fall |
|
Seen pestilence and war |
|
How swift are your little lives |
|
How swiftly you forget |
|
My roots are deep in your forefathers's bones |
|
My head in the air that you breath |
|
When you freeze i submit your fire |
|
When you're hot come and seek shadow beneath |
|
Tree - tall as a mountain |
|
Older than fathers of kings of men |
|
Stood here and watched while your heroes died |
|
I am your memory... |
|
I am incarnate life |
|
My branches you cradle |
|
I watched the rise of man |
|
While you wished upon the stars |
|
I never left the land |
|
And you've hung villians from my arms |
|
Nailed prophets high on my chest |
|
In your mind you may be the master |
|
But in the soil we both shall rest |
|
Tree - Yoo've convinced yourselves you were cast out of |
|
Eden But you left willingly in pride |
|
Now when you freeze in your castles of stone |
|
Do you think you were right |
|
Tree - How fragile are your lives |
|
How fragile your dreams |
|
And you shall ache with thirst |
|
In eroded landscapes( there's no escape) |
|
Last species alone... |
|
In a field of stone |
|
But listen mankind... |
|
What i tell is true |
|
From a buried seed a forest will be |
|
You may destroy |
|
But you cannot undo |
